› Sue Moloney Memorial Cup

The Sue Moloney Memorial Cup is a memorial trophy, played at the end of every season. Harlequin Ladies have taken on various opposition over the years in a game celebrating the life of a dear friend and team-mate.

Sue Moloney
Sue was a true Harlequin Lady who gave her all both on and off the field for Harlequin Ladies. Having joined HLFC in 1997/8 season, Sue became instrumental in setting up the first Harlequin Ladies youth side and continued to coach them for two seasons whilst also captaining the Ladies second XV with strength and determination. Sadly, Sue passed away in 2000 due to a meningitis infection. Gone but certainly not forgotten, HLFC and the Moloney family ensure that Sue's memory lives on in the annual Sue Moloney Memorial Cup game, played as a friendly fixture very much encompassing Sue's passion and enjoyment of the game of rugby (and a few beers afterwards!)
